    We had high hopes for this one but was disappointed…the atmosphere, story and ambiance were great. However the food was very overpriced. The rice dish was dry and the spices did not blend well. The appetizer was good. Drinks were good but pricey. I brought my entire family here to celebrate my husbands birthday and absolutely nothing was special about that. My suggestion would be to stop here for a drink and appetizer to enjoy the ambiance.

    It's been 20+ years since I've been to a Trader's Vic so my last known experience back then was very good.... However, this trip didn't come close to what I remember. The food was overcooked, and dry and wasn't to the level I remember or should be for the competition. The band was a nice touch but very loud, and the music had nothing to do with the restaurant's theme. The price value was good but I think I'll wait another 20 years for my next visit.
    Trader Vic'sResponded on 31 January 2025
    Aloha Matthew, We are sincerely sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time with us. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment in our food options and we understand your frustration. All of your feedback is gratefully received and will be discussed internally so that improvements can be made for the future. It is our hope that you'll consider giving us another chance soon; we're confident that we can impress you. Mahalo, Maurice Pinder, Jr.

    Trader Vic’s Atlanta: An Iconic Treasure! Trader Vic’s Atlanta never disappoints! This was our third visit in a row, and once again, it was an absolutely amazing experience. Despite the bustling crowd, we received everything we ordered, and the slight delay turned into a bonus, giving me time to explore the giant tiki temple and capture some incredible photos of the unique and iconic decor. This place is truly a treasure in Atlanta—a must-visit for anyone who loves a one-of-a-kind dining and drinking experience. If you visit, do yourself a favor: grab a strong rum drink (you won’t be disappointed) and treat yourself to something mouthwatering from the Chinese ovens—it’s the ultimate combo of flavor and flair. A huge shoutout to the dynamic duo behind the bar and the phenomenal Tempest and Destiny, who took exceptional care of us every single night. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail elevated our evenings to something unforgettable. Trader Vic’s continues to shine with its signature charm, unbeatable ambiance, and outstanding service. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this is a spot you absolutely can’t miss. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—cheers!

    Aloha Jim, Thank you for joining us at Trader Vic’s Atlanta! It’s fantastic that your third visit was just as amazing as the others, and you fully embraced our unique ambiance and charm of the iconic tiki temple. We’ll make sure to pass along your compliments to Tempest, Destiny, and the bar team; they’ll be thrilled that their exceptional service made your evenings so special. It was a pleasure having you here, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another terrific dining experience in the future. Mahalo, Maurice Pinder, Jr.

    While I’m generally a fan of Trader Vic’s, my experience at the Atlanta location left much to be desired. While the decor was impressive and captured the signature ambiance, unfortunately, that was the only highlight. The food and drinks were disappointing, and while the service was decent, the overall experience simply didn’t justify the cost. To be fair, it was an exceptionally busy night, which may have contributed to the issues, but it still fell far short of expectations. I hesitated to post a negative review, but I feel it’s worth mentioning in the hopes that the team can address these concerns and improve the experience for future guests.
    Trader Vic'sResponded on 28 January 2025
    Aloha Jennifer, Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you appreciated our impressive decor and ambiance, we’re sorry that our delicious food offerings and drinks didn’t meet your expectations and that the overall experience fell short of the standard you’ve come to expect from us. We understand how a busy night can impact service, and your constructive comments are invaluable. Rest assured, we will share your comments with our team to ensure any opportunity for improvement is seized, and we hope to have another chance to change your perceptions in the future.

    The drinks were mediocre, we left one undrunk behind. The food was fine but overpriced, except for the desert. A bland creme brulee that wasn't crisp on top and was instead covered with slime goo. We asked the waiter if they'd forgotten to flambee it, he took it to the kitchen, and it came back worse. We didn't eat it and he didn't notice or offer to remove it from our tab. All this might have been alright if the atmosphere had been great, but instead we were in a very cold side room with conference chairs and stock tablecloths. It was in no way worth the price tag.

    2nd visit. What a great time, decor is fabulous as are the drinks. Order something from the Chinese ovens! I wanted to shout out to Tempest and Destiny. They were so accommodating and nice. They held our table longer so we could spend more time in the bar having those wonderful rum drinks and soaking in the magic that is Trader Vic’s Atlanta.
